St. Louis Cardinals coach Jon Jay may have unknowingly ignited Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres offense after an on-field verbal altercation, Saturday. The result of the exchange was a feisty Machado in the locker room after the win and a locked in Machado at the plate for the final game of the series at Busch Stadium, Sunday.
Machado turned in a 4-for-5 day at the plate with two doubles and drove in three runs for the Padres as they dominated the Cardinals en route to a 9-2 win and a series split.
